Trying Too Hard

by Nicole M. - Gemini

Try hard
And you get pushed away
Just as hard.

You should learn by now
force doesn't get you anywhere.

smothering effort
stops the breathing
which takes the life.

Don't try so hard
to get your obsession to love you
to make everyone worship you
to become the center of attention
Why don'y you just stop pushing
proding
and forcing
it's not getting you
anywhere
anyway
